Wow its been a long time......

i finally had a chance to log on and its been a long time. i have been in the final crunch of school while working, going to an education conference and trying to balance home and health life... it has been a challenge and since i am coming to my first big goal of weight loss it is becoming even more challenging.... i have 3lbs to go as of Thursday 5-8.
i just joined a gym on Tuesday and went 5 times this week. i hope this will help in losing the last 3lbs. the next few weeks ahead are going to be so challenging since i am graduating, i have a wedding, and DH and i are having a summer kickoff barbecue. so i will definately be tested while trying to reach goal.
this weekend has been good so far. not too much beer (which is usually my weekend problem for weight loss). I only had 2 light beers friday night and 1 saturday.
my life is changing as of thursday may22nd as i walk down the aisle to receive my diploma. i have 2 more undergrad classes to take starting may 27th and then i begin the masters program at Marywood in the fall. on top of that I have just been hired in my first real job as a teacher. it starts June 28th. so as i transition into this new stage of life i have to adjust my food and coping skills to deal with it. i am both scared and excited and just hope that i can still do what i am doing now to keep losing weight and maintain. i know my life will be crazy and i hope that i dont fall into my old habits.......
